Intro

	作词 : Howard Phillips Lovecraft
	作曲 : Radix
	It is now clear to me that any literary merit
	I have is confined to of dream-life,
	strange shadows, and cosmic "outsideness".
	I have no illusions concerning
	the precarious status of my tales,
	and do not expect to become a serious
	competitor of my favourite weird authors
	Poe, Arthur Machen, Dunsany.
	The only thing I can say
	in favour of my work is its sincerity.
	I refuse to follow the mechanical
	conventions of popular fiction
	to fill my tales with stock characters
	and situations,
	but insist on reproducing real moods
	and impressions in the best way I can command.
	The result may be poor,
	but I had rather keep aiming
	at serious literary expression
	than accept the artificial
	standards of cheap romance.
